The rules around pet day care are almost six decades old and need updating, the RSPCA has said.
Samantha Gaines, from the charity, said pet boarding standards are not clearly linked to animal welfare standards.
It comes as a business owner claimed the laws are endangering public safety and animal welfare.
The Welsh Government said it recognised the need to review the licensing of activities involving the boarding of animals.
However it said this needed to be done with a measured approach, and its recent focus had been to introduce new powers relating to the third-party sale of kittens and puppies.
Readers were asked to share their of pets in the wintry weather. Nearly 100 photographs were received from across Conwy and Denbighshire of pooches playing in the snow, enjoying extra cuddles and enjoying frosty walks. Steve Belgrau, shared a wonderful photograph of dogs enjoying crisp white snow at The Pet Joint on the Denbighshire Conwy border. Carla Taylor shared a snap of her rabbit Hoppy, who has the run of the garage, Katie Mellor shared a picture of her cute dog snuggled up in a blanket whilst Alison Wyn Tardivel shared a photograph of dog Smudge enjoying a forest walk. The RSPCA Cymru is urging people to ensure their animals are kept cosy when temperatures plummet.
